Supervisor Responsibilities

World Studies

  • The World Studies EE is organized across six global themes. Students choose one of these under which to register their essay
  • The World Studies EE invites students to conduct an in-depth, interdisciplinary investigation into an issue of contemporary global importance
  • The World Studies EE requires students to bring together aspects of different disciplines to illuminate their chosen topic
  • Students are not expected to address the topic in its full complexity, but should aim to generate understandings that are new to them

Tips:

  • “Interdisciplinary” in this context refers to research that draws on the methods, concepts and theories of two Diploma Programme subjects. It is strongly recommended that students are undertaking a course of study in at least one of the subjects chosen for their essay
  • “Contemporary” in this context refers to events that took place during the student’s lifetime.
